The Fine Print:

Legalities: Oh My Goddess/Ah Megami-sama characters, artworks and plot bases are copyright by Kosuke Fujishima/Kodansha Ltd. Tokyo. Parts of this FanNovel are based on English translations of OMG/AMS by Dark Horse Comics and Studio Proteus and translations from the Japanese manga published by Kodansha.  A number of artworks have been reproduced, edited and sampled within the context of 'fair artistic license' as defined by the UCC and ICL; the existence of such artwork on this page does not imply contest of ownership by the author, who recognizes that the original art and all derivations using such art remain the copyrighted intellectual property trust of Kosuke Fujishima, Kodansha Ltd. and their respective legal agents, and assigns no conditions upon its use or reproduction. 

All translations of Chinese and Japanese poetry and prose are copyrighted by the author and may not be reproduced without express permission.

Idealisms: The original artwork, characters and other related intellectual properties are ideally operated by their creators, with whom it resides, contrary to common practice in the publishing industry. There is no acceptable reason for artists to assign the copyright interests in their work to an indifferent corporate entity, hobbyists, or management by virtue of a 'common practice' which was always questionable, often improper, and is now indefensible and inappropriate.

Disclaimers: There exists no copyright on this work beyond the conditions explained in the Legalities section, as I do this for a hobby. It may be freely reproduced. Any resemblance to any persons, living or deceased, occurs per accidens. The orientation of this fanfiction does not maintain fidelity with nor does it reflect the OMG/AMS 'canon'.

Caveats: This OMG adaptation deals with some real issues, such as sexual abuse, drug addiction, mental illness and societal alienation. The philosophy of this story approximates Dostoyevsky: one most see the dark before treasuring the light. There are 'adult' R-rated (lemon) scenes in Chapters 20 and 42, plus an economy of mild swearing throughout.

Also, this is a blatant self-insertion fanfic. If this is troublesome, then I would suggest that you 'fictionalize' the narrator...a technique known as author deconstruction (i.e.; "death of the author" movement in the 1970s). I needed to outpour this work...so thanks for your indulgence. I have tried to balance self-serving disclosure with genuine narrative (a reader emailed me to inform me that she cried while reading Ch. 6) in the milieu of the OMG Universe that we all know and love.
